Which console's for you?

I need your help deciding on which gaming console to buy. I'm leaning towards the PS3, as it's not more expensive than the Xbox, when you throw in extras such as the wi-fi adapter and xbox box live membership.

When you vote, can you give a reason for why you voted for the console you did!

Thanks!

1. Sony PS3 including a extra controller and two free games.

Price:
£399.97
$820
€595



2. Xbox 360 Premium

Price
£269.96 (console) + £29.98 (wireless controller) + £35 (1 year of Xbox live) + £35 (2 Games, Forza 2 for only £5) + £ 55 (wi-fi adapter) = £425

$870
€630



3. Nintendo Wii

Price
£180 (console) + £60 (2 games) + £25 (extra controller) = £265

$540
390



4. A top gaming computer

Price - A lot more expensive than any of these consoles and would have to be upgraded regually!

Re: Which console's for you?

I like the 360 best. I had a 360 premium which I sold when I got a 360 Elite. I got the Elite version for the bigger hard drive and HDMI support. I also have a Wii (Christmas present for my daughters) and while I think the system is fun, the 360 suits my gaming tastes better. Plus it has HDTV support and the Wii doesn't.

I probably will get a PS3 in the future once Gran Turismo 5 and Killzone 2 come out. Those are only two games exclusive to the PS3 that I have to have. Plus it will give my a Blu Ray player

Re: Which console's for you?

I mostly play strategy, RPG and MMOG games so the console offer little for me... PC is the way to go.

Re: Which console's for you?

Before the 360 came out I would've said PC. I was one of those guys that was always upgrading his PC with the latest hardware so I could play the latest games with all graphic detail turn on/high and play at 1600 X 1200 resolution. But with how expensive high end video cards are getting ($650 and up) it got too expensive to change out my PC components every year.

Re: Which console's for you?

Nintendo Wii, because of this:

Super Mario Galaxy
Release date: US: November 12, 2007


Super Smash Bros: Brawl
Release date: US: December 3, 2007


Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Release date: US: August 27, 2007


All AAA quality, all coming this very year. On the only console with next gen controls.

Re: Which console's for you?

I'd go for the XBOX 360. Why? Well, for starters, it's got an awesome operational system. Secondly, games such as:

Halo 3


Project Gotham Racing 4 (includes motor bikes now..)


Turok (could be rubbish though - like the N64 versions )


Splinter Cell: Conviction

Re: Which console's for you?

Xbox fanboy reporting. Because of it's price, very comfortable controller, accessory and the games available the 360 offers the best value.

Sony...No questions about it.

Why?

Heavenly Sword:

These 3 will do for now. I don't have to use the big guns like MGS4, GT5, FFXIII & Versus FXIII, Killzone2, and Warhawk. All of these without paying a single penny to play online or forking over extra money to watch Hi-def movies. Thank you very much.
